[Experimental 1.23] Glitches with shadows/lights
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Hey, for better understanding I've attached two clips merged together with two graphic glitches.

  1. On the first clip you can see a strange behaviour of a city name on the sign, which is exposed to the sunset. Depending on the angle, it's highlighted or not, but my understanding is that the text shouldn't be highlighted at all. When you are from it, due to LODs it looks even worse.
  2. On the second clip you can see that shadows are appearing and disappearing based on the direction player is facing. My guess is that some object despawns when character looks to the right and shadows are gone and when character looks again to the left, object spawns and shadow is casted. I'm not sure if it was that visible on previous versions, but may be it could be addressed during this update due to lighting changes?

Hard to say if it is easy or hard to reproduce, since I do not have control over day time on experimental server.

Dear Geez,

I would also like to report 3 more things related to lighting:

  • a shadow glitch on City_Stand objects, but I'm not sure which one it was (News2/News1/Grocery/FastFood?). The shadows on the wall made out of corrugated sheet metal (on outside) were flickering a lot during a sunny day on Chernarus, they were also pixelated a bit.
  • during a night on Chernarus, there was a clear sky with Milky Way clearly visible, Moon was in waxing or waning gibbous phase and the night in general was really dark, I couldn't see the light from the Moon casting shadows on objects.
  • also I've seen a weird lighting bug on one specific model of a tree, which was awkwardly bright during late night/early morning and it was standing out a lot in comparison to the rest of trees. I think that it could be a model of FraxinusExcelsior but I have no idea which one exactly.

Sadly I've got only one phot available and it is related to that weird tree being bright during night/early morning. When I saw it from distance I thought that somebody is lighting it up with flashlight but it turned out that it's bright all the time (seems to be only top of model).

Luckily I've managed to get record a video of City_Stand shadow bug, please see attached.

Signs have been this way for a long time
